Metallic bonds are similar to highly delocalised bonds found in giant covalent molecules, such as those found in graphite.
Other substances with a metallic appearance such as galena lead sulfide, PbS and iron pyrites, FeS2 although usually considered at high school level to be ionic are in fact semiconductors implying covalency and delocalisation.

Silver has what kind of bonds?
metallic bond metallic bond
What kind of bond is Ti2?
Metallic bonds in titanium.
What kind of chemical bonds are found in the mineral gold?
Gold contains metallic bonds.
What kind of bond is sodium and magnesium?
Sodium metal and magnesium metal have metallic bonds. They do form an alloy which also contains metallic bonds.
Which type of bonds are metallic bonds similar to?
They are most similar to delocalised bonds such as in graphite. Sometimes described as lattice of metal ions in a cloud of electrons they have little in common with covalent bonds or ionic bonds.
The metal atoms in stainless steel are held together by?
The type of bonds in metals are called metallic bonds.
Copper atoms are held together by what kind of bonds?
they are heldtogether by special type of bonds known as metallic bonds, these bonds are hybrid of ionic and covalent bonds.
What kind of bonding is Fe?
Elements don't have bonds, only compounds do.
What kind of atoms form metallic bonds?
A positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it.
Do metallic bonds have weak forces?
Metallic bonds are not so strong as covalent and ionic bonds.
What kind of bonding does the particles in potassium have?
Pure potassium is held together by metallic bonds.
What bonds are metallic bonds similar to?
Metallic bonds most similar to delocalised covalent bonds- both have free electrons. In both it is the delocalisation energy that makes for strong bonding. Metals are the extreme case of delocalisation. Some argue that they are a bit like ionic- using the simple " sea of electrons around a lattice of ions view" - but personally I think that is mistaken and misleading.
